This was my first shoot with Chiara and it was totally awesome :) I had wanted to work with her since I had come across her Portfolio and I was not disappointed today. Her per shoot communications were excellent and her preparation was perfect. She is such a lovey person as well as being an awesome model what more could you ask for. I was impressed so much that I plan to work with her bi Montly for the rest of the year. I Highly Recommend Chiara and look forward to our next shoot with eager anticipation :)

I've followed Chiara for some considerable time and admired her work as a model,photographer, set and fashion stylist. When I saw that she was branching out into remote shoots, with the use of high end kit. I jumped at the chance to work together. Chiara is one of those rare models that puts a huge extra effort into every aspect of the aesthetics of the shoot. The results speak for themselves with depth of styling across the images. Her experience as a model results in beautiful poses, angles and expressions and her experience as a photographer gives her an understanding of composition and lighting. As if that wasn't enough, Chiara's personality is vibrant and enthusiastic which spurs you on to get the best results. We really had a great rapport and have established a friendship in the process. I've already booked a second shoot. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Helped Chiara do a test remote shoot to see if it would be something she could do going forward in the future. As ever, she took to it like a duck to water. After she had seen the first few images during the shoot, I could tell she was getting the bug for remote shooting as she wanted to do more shots, etc straight away. We shot three looks during our test shoot and we walked away with several shots we were both happy with.

As usual, highly recommend shooting with Chiara.

I had the most awesome shoot with Chiara yesterday. Her pre shoot comms were great and she rang me last week to arrange the shoot and talk about our ideas. When I arrived she had her tents set up and she showed me a huge range of outfits that we'd discussed. Chiara posed effortlessly throughout and we created some beautiful images. Her modelling experience gives her all the skills and talent you could ask for. Chiara is super-friendly and we chatted lots throughout the day. Her partner was also really helpful and cooked us lunch and held the reflector on the windy beach. This was genuinely one of my favourite ever shoots. I'd definitely recommend her and look forward to when we next meet and work together.

I'm a very lucky chap.

This model photography malarkey ain't rocket science and it won't win any Nobel prizes, however, it's an awesomely fulfilling way to challenge yourself. If you choose to.

Or you could choose to be a GWC. Ya ken, making the occasional deposit at the bank of mummies and daddies!

Who sir? Me sir?

I'm not after an easy life. I want to be the best, you see! Will I? Of course not. Not even vaguely close. Beezer Homes League Northern Division challenging Juventus with my legs tied to a skip and wearing a blindfold as thick as two long planks. You get the idea?

But, we can dream . . .

And in my most lucid of wackadoodle dreams, the mighty Chiara Elisabetta looms large. No need to explain. You've seen her work, you knnow her outlook on life. She's the toppermost of the poppermost.

So, Huwston, me owd matey. What's the deal then? You reckon you can make a fist of it, do ya? Eh? Eh??

Has it appens I dooooo!

Sew (a needle pulling thread), a couple of suitably prosaic emails later and I'm talking to the lady herself. And . . ? God dayum, I KNEW instantly that magic would be the order of the day. Chiara's comms abilities are to Olympic standards! She's quite simply the most positive, enthusiastic and engaging phonee EVAH! GAME ON!!!

Post haste, don't spare the horses etc . . . I fire up my trusty steed (I've shot models younger than my car, for gawd's sake!) and several hours and a couple of Gregg's Vegan Sausage Rolls later and I'm being WARMLY welcomed to chez Chiara.

Details?! Hell, I could wang on forever and a day about our shooty fun day. But, nothing I scribe could even come close to describing the awesomeness of the day . . .

Weather . . ? PERFECT

Location . . ? IDEAL

Welcome . . ? BEYOND LOVELY

Hospitality . . ? 7 STAR!

Imagination . . ? Hans Christian Elisabetta!

Laughs . . ? O.M.G!!! I haven't laughed so much since my aunty slipped and caught her left tit in the mangle!

Support network . . ? For the love of all that is holy, Mr Elisabetta (Simon) is beyond a delight - charming, a wonderful host, awesome company, far too handsome for his own good, a great chef, an even better baker . . . the perfect companion for, wait for it . . . this is a biggy . . .

. . . THE PERFECT MODEL!!!

That's right, I said it!

Chiara Elisabetta is heaven on earth!

I'm going to be brutally honest here . . . at least 90% of shooting models, for me, is the shoot itself. It's the one-on-one interaction, the direct communication, the creation and sharing of multiple visions, the buzz of a creative need, the awareness that time is the most precious commodity of all, the need to be the best you can but while ensuring fun is the priority.

I'm a very lucky chap.

I've been lucky enough to shoot with the very best humans on the planet. the laughs I've had, the friends I've made, the joy we've shared. I genuinely feel sorry for those who aren't able to experience these joys. I thought I knew where the edges of this glory were. Nah, not even close . . .

Spending the day with Chiara is something I will never forget. In these strange times, when things are looking particularly bleak, I only need to cast my mind back to our day of photography gloriousness, the clouds part and Chiara's light shines in.

Quite simply, no other shoot will ever match my day with Chiara and Simon. They turn an existence into a life.

Love you loads XXX.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to work with this amazing model for the first time.

I have been following her on Purpleport for quite a while and we finally had the chance to working together when I got a cancellation about two weeks before my trip to the UK.

We created some awesome images together with Alana IV Ray while shooting duo from art nude and fashion to boudoir.

I can highly recommend Chiara and would love to work together with her as soon as possible.

Thanks for this stunning shoot.

Chiara is my spirit animal in human form. I love love love her in so many ways. She is the most talented woman I have ever met and I am constantly in awe of her, I think about her more times than is probably normal haha. But she inspires me in so many ways and she has added so much value to my life in ways she probably doesn't even realise.

Her 'Bohemian Garden' event was the most incredible event I have ever modelled for and I am so honoured she wanted me there. She is a powerhouse of creativity and knowledge, I adore her. Ive even captured the phrase 'Channeling my inner Cheryl' to describe the energy within me from thinking about her.

I love and adore Chiara so much and she is a blessing to our industry.

Thankyou thankyou thankyou.

If you haven't worked with Chiara then you are missing out on so much.

Highly recommended

Chiara was extremely professional. She arrived ahead of time and was very friendly from the outset. Chiara has great knowledge of photography and lighting so she was able to offer advice throughout the shoot. We did a range of lingerie, burlesque and art nude shots which I am extremely pleased with. Throughout the three hour shoot she was full of energy and created a fun atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and consider working with her again.

Had an amazing second shoot with Chiara at the Studland weekend on Friday! :-) Had wanted to shoot with Chiara again for ages but it never quite worked out so was really excited to get the chance to finally shoot again! :-) Chiara is incredible to work with, she brings amazing styling, phenomenal posing, unique awareness of everything both sides of the camera and on top of all her skills is loads of fun and an absolute joy to work with! :-) Had an awesome time shooting, we got through a massive range of different sets and styles in our shoot, and came away with some fabulous images! :-) Totally recommend and can't wait to work with Chiara again! :-)

Apologies for the long delay in leaving this reference.

It's taken a couple of years but I finally had my first shoot with Chiara - and boy what an introductory shoot. I booked two sessions on the Bohemian Garden event, and wow what an event. As I write this unsure as to whether this reference is for the stylist, the set designer, event organiser or model - not sure I've worked with someone with such a portfolio of talent.

I've visited the Hacienda a few times, and i've never seen such a transformation. The work and attention to detail in set design and styling simply blew me away. So many sets, with so many shooting opportunities that doubt if I covered half of them in the time I spent there.

Come the modelling, simply awesome, whether working solo, duo or trio - there is no need to direct. Simply discuss the ideas for the set, and the mood you want to convey, then point the camera and let Chiara go. I have so many great shots from the then event I simply didn't know where to start.

I'll be starting to upload images soon, it may take a while.

I really do hope that I'll be able to work with this creative genius again.

Obviously highly recommended.

Thanks Chiara - till next time ...

I had the privilege to attend The Bohemian Garden event at the Hacienda organised by Cheryl. And WOW, what a sensational event! Amazing sets, beautiful clothing, everything crafted in great detail.

Cheryl is a great model, photographer and a very creative stylist. A combination you don’t often find.

The models for this event were Ayla, Joel together with Cheryl a stunning team.

I cannot recommend Cheryl highly enough!!

I know the word “Epic” gets thrown around a lot these days, but trust me, Chiara’s Bohemian Garden event hosted at the Hacienda was truly epic!

Chiara is a legendary model and the most creative person I have had the pleasure of working with. When I arrived my jaw hit the floor looking at the breath taking set designs and the amount of wonderfully procured outfits on offer.

You can tell right away the amount of planning, hard work and dedication that went into this. Chiara had also chosen two stunning models, Ayala and Joel for the event.

The event was so smooth and well organised we were able to flow from set to set easily and there was assistance on hand with the equipment.

We captured some stunning images and I am so proud to have been involved! A huge thank you Chiara!!! Highly recommended!!!

Recently had the joy and privilege of attending Chiara's (soon to be - if it isn't already) LEGENDARY Bohemian Garden event at The Hacienda.

WOW! Never seen anybody pour their heart and soul into an event like this and organise anything on this scale. I could have shot there for a week and still be discovering new things.

Consider my gob well and truly smacked!

Thank you so much! Hugely recommended :)

I've worked with Cheryl many times now. All have been amazing experiences. her beauty is beyong compare. She is professional, enthusiastic and very creative. A great model & photographer, highly talented in many creative areas and an wonderful host. But this time Cheryl went above and beyond. An amzing full day of boho grogeousness. Amazing sets, stunning detail, gorgeous clothing, great choice of models and as always perfect modelling. This blew me away. I hope that this massive effort put in doesn't stop her form doing similar event/workshops/model days. I will be frst in the queue for any more. Money well spent on a day (and subsequent stunning images), i could never have put together myself. Highly recommended is something i say alot on references. I nerver say it unless i mean it. But for this lady i need to find a new phrase to express how amazing she is at everything she does creatively.

What can I say about Chiara that I haven't said already. This time shooting with her was during the first day of her Bohemian Garden themed event at The Hacienda. If you've followed Chiara on her social media, you'd have seen she had put in several months of planning, saucing items for both outfits and sets and then putting it all together. When it all came together at The Hacienda, jaws dropped, "Oh my God", "Epic" and more were heard not only from myself but the other photographers and models during the course of the event days.

Chiara is both an awesome model and person. She cares passionately in creating images both when she is in front of and behind the camera. The time and effort that both she and Simone put into the themed event showed with several sets that presented different themes, styles and options for photographers to capture both the beauty of the sets and the models that Chiara had picked including, a first for the themed events, a male model.

If you have not shot with Chiara or were thinking of but didn't think you could do her justice with your photography, book her. She will elevate your photography to another level both in poses and helpful suggestions to make a taken picture event better.

I don't know where to start with this amazing woman, she is BEYOND creative, honestly you'll probably never meet a more epic person ever!

I got to shoot with Cheryl @the Hacienda for the Bohemian garden event and I was blown away from the start, it was so much to take in ( in the best way possible ) it was E P I C !!!! Cheryl, you really went all out and it was mind blowing! Not only did she work tirelessly to get the set all sorted but she made sure that we were all taken care of in every aspect.

She's so professional and so so easy to get on with, I feel like we've been friends for years! You could just NOT EVER have a bad shoot with this woman, she always delivers excellent work both behind the camera and front!

You rock girl, love you! #bohofever

I had my first shoot with Chiara today which was booked at short notice yesterday. Pre-comms were great and it only took a few messages to confirm the shoot details.

Chiara is lovely to work with and very professional and we got on straight away.

Even though we were shooting on location, she had lots of clothes with her and we quickly selected the outfits for the shoot.

Chiara is a very talented model, beautiful, and very good at posing and was equally happy for me to ask her to adjust her pose slightly to perfect the image.

I really enjoyed working with Chiara and can very highly recommend her, thanks for a great shoot Chiara!

Another fantastic shoot with Chiara, a duo with Natural Happy Woman.

I never tire of working with this great lady. She always produces great images with her posing & styling, & she's generous with her advice on lighting etc.

Apparently she was feeling a little under the weather (the dreaded "bug" that's going around) but that didn't deter her one bit. In front of the camera she was every bit the consumate professional, eager to do her best for me.

As ever, I can't recommend her highly enough.

OMG WOW!!!! What can I say about Cheryl that hasn't already been said? I have admired Cheryl's work as a model and as a photographer for years now and feel she is one of those models that brings so much to the table. She is the sort of person you would give an idea to just to see what she would do with it, She is utterly inspiring!!!

Each shoot is bespoke and unique with great attention to detail carefully thought out, and believe me, so much love and detail is poured into each set! Cheryl and Simon are both very welcoming and went to great lengths to ensure the sets and lighting were perfect for every set.

The whole day was a pure joy, to be in the company of this amazingly talented, beautiful and inspiring lady. what an amazing model.

I learned so much, got some amazing photos and yes I'll be planning more shoots with Cheryl very soon :-)

Thankyou for such a lovely experience

Highly, highly recommend
